Research Brief

Guenter P, Jensen G, Patel V, Miller S, Mogensen KM, Malone A, Corkins M, Hamilton C, DiMaria-Ghalili RA. Addressing disease-related malnutrition in hospitalized patients: a call for a national goal. Jt Comm J Qual Patient Saf. 2015;41(10):469-473.

Kris Mogensen, MS, RD, LDN, CNSC, and RD Team Leader at BWH, along with colleagues from the A.S.P.E.N. malnutrition committee examined the current state of malnutrition in hospitalized patients and prevalence of malnutrition diagnosis. The article discussed the importance of addressing malnutrition as a national goal and as a patient safety concern. Actions that both health care organizations and clinicians can take to address prevention or treatment of acute or chronic disease-related malnutrition in hospitalized patients to improve the quality of patient care, improve clinical outcomes, and reduce costs were identified.

Yeh DD, Cropano C, Quraishi SA, Fuentes E, Kaafarani H, Lee J, Velmahos G. Periprocedural nutrition in the intensive care unit: a pilot study. J Surg Res. 2015;198(2):346-350.

A recent pilot study conducted at Massachusetts General Hospital’s Department of Surgery, Division of Trauma, Emergency Surgery, and Surgical Critical Care examined the effects of continuing EN up to, and sometimes during, operative procedures (perioperative EN), and a temporary postoperative increase in the hourly EN rate to compensate for interrupted EN (compensatory nutrition) on surgical ICU patients undergoing elective tracheostomy. Results indicate this approach is feasible as patients in the fed group received significantly more nutrition on the day of surgery without complication and were not associated with increased morbidity.

Irvin L, Heuberger R. Enhancing gut function and providing symptom relief in IBD with glutamine supplementation: a literature review. Gastrointestinal Nursing. 2015;13(6):26-34.

A literature review was conducted to examine the effects of glutamine supplementation on IBD, specifically if supplementation can optimize gut health, provide symptom relief, enhance quality of life, and decrease disease activity in IBD patients. Current research indicates moderate to high doses of glutamine (20-30g daily) seem to be beneficial to adults and animals, but too much can lead to tissue damage in the colon. Supplementing with minimal doses appears to be ineffective. While glutamine may have the potential to optimize gut health, reduce disease progression, enhance quality of life, and decrease symptoms for patients with IBD, it is still a topic that requires additional research before specific recommendations can be made. As such, glutamine supplementation should be used with caution as this area of interest warrants further investigation.
